EPSRC CDT in Future Propulsion and Power Studentships

We have funding for a number of 4-year PhDs, in collaboration with industry, on net zero propulsion and power under the following research themes:

• Systems modelling of future net zero flight and energy pathways


• Aero-thermal design of propulsion and power technologies


• Thermodynamic analysis and development of net zero flight and energy cycles


• Data Science and multi-disciplinary modelling and optimization


• Novel propulsors systems and aircraft configuration


• Thermal systems for new propulsion systems and zero carbon fuels (including hydrogen)


• High pressure and high temperature turbine research for ultra-efficient jet engines


• Advanced modelling of particle deposition and ice accretion for next generation, ultra-efficient aviation engines


• Multi-physics approach to studying the complex aerodynamic and thermodynamic processes in future engines with net zero fuels


• Advanced numerical (CFD) and experimental techniques for the study of reacting flows.


Following completion of a taught MRes in Future Propulsion in Power at the University of Cambridge, students will then undertake a PhD at one of the partner universities; Cambridge, Loughborough and Oxford.
